Destinations

We set out to get under the skin of the 130 destinations that we visit, from Egypt to Jamaica and from Bolivia to Japan. Combining the must-sees with the who-knews, we provide authentic travel experiences across the globe.

Destinations

Africa

Discover the vast, diverse continent that is Africa. Navigate through aromatic medinas, drive across stretching golden plains in search of the Big Five and discover tribal cultures. We challenge you not to fall in love.

Asia

Asia offers a heady mix of diverse traditions, religions, cuisine and architecture. Iconic monuments from the Great Wall of China to the Taj Mahal, and scenery from Indonesian rice paddies to the staggering Himalaya, give a flavour of its variety.

Australasia

Australasia is a region of vibrant colour, staggering landscapes and contrasting cultures. Compact yet varied, New Zealand is all about the great outdoors. It's best explored on foot, where you'll cover lakes and mountains, coasts and glaciers.

Europe

From the windswept Atlantic coast to the vast taiga forests in the east, and from the polar tundra to the sun-kissed Mediterranean, Europe's variety is second to none. The diversity of its cuisine, culture and climate mirrors that of its landscape.

Middle East

The Middle East is a heady concoction of welcoming people, ancient sites, stunning desert scenery and delicious food. Uncover history that spans millenia in colossal archaeological sites and sleep under starlit skies in the Arabian desert.

North America

North America is home to dynamic cities, rich cultural diversity and inspiring National Parks. From the canyons and deserts of the USA to Canada's Rocky Mountains and Alaska's wildlife, North America's charms are hard to resist.

Central America

The thin strip of land connecting North and South America contains eight countries packed with fascinating Mayan history, colourful modern cultures and pristine beaches. Here the rainforests, cloud forests and barrier reef bustle with biodiversity.

Caribbean

Fields of sugar cane, rum distilleries, freshly-cooked fish and jerk chicken and a laid-back attitude to life - there's lots to love about Caribbean holidays. And that's without even mentioning the glittering azure waters and miles of sandy beaches.

South America

South America is a continent of superlatives. Explore the world's largest rainforest and marvel at its highest waterfall. Walk its longest mountain range and discover its highest capital city. All washed down with hearty food and world-class wines.

Experiences

Adventure doesn't have to take you out of your comfort zone; from activities like zip-wiring in Costa Rica, to tasting local dishes in Italy and staying with local families in Peru, there's a little adventure to be found on all our travels.

Why book this trip?

Sandwiched between Turkey, Iran, Georgia and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus, Armenia is one of Eurasia's more mountainous countries and also one of the least well-known. This off-beat trip treks through spectacular natural wildernesses and landscapes, unspoilt mountain villages with biblical views of the Ararat Mountains and visits fascinating medieval monasteries. From the twisted rock formations of the Garni Gorge to high-altitude Lake Sevan and the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Geghard Monastery, this beautiful country won't fail to impress.

Leaving Yerevan behind this morning, we drive to the village of Bujakan from where we begin the first walk of the holiday, to the ruined 10th century monastery of Neghuts. Ascending to the ridge of Mount Teghenis, on a clear day we should have a breathtaking view of the highest mountain in Armenia, Mount Aragats (4,090m) as well as the distinct dormant volcanic cone of Mount Ararat in neighbouring Turkey. We plan to stop for a picnic lunch near the monastery ruins before descending to the village of Arzakan. From here we drive to our hotel for the night by the shores of Lake Sevan. This beautiful lake is situated at an altitude of approximately 2,000 metres and is the largest lake in the Caucasus. On the peaceful Sevan Peninsula we visit Sevanavank Monastery which dates back to the 9th century and from where we can enjoy a wonderful view of the lake.

The first will be at the village of Noratus where there is a vast cemetery known for its collection of unique and fascinating carved stone crosses known as khachkars. Covered by colourful mosses and lichen, the earliest date from medieval times.

Spectacularly located on the crest of a ridge between the villages of Artabuynk and Yeghegis, Smbataberd. is guarded by steep cliffs on three of its sides. We will explore some of the large ramparts and towers which are still relatively intact. The fort's origins date back to the 5th century although much of the fortifications date from the 9th and 10th centuries. Our walk continues with great views of the Yeghegis valley, to the medieval monastery of Tsakhats Kar which we will visit before continuing to our hike's end at Yeghegis village.

From Goris it's a short drive to Halidzor from where we take a ride on the breathtaking \ Wings of Tatev\ cable car linking Halidzor with Tatev Monastery. Constructed in 2010, this is the longest (5.7 kilometres) non-stop double track cable car in the world. After our cable car journey we start walking along a route known as the Serpentine Road which leads us up to the 9th century monastery of Tatev, fabulously located on a plateau at the edge of the Vorotan canyon. With a depth of 800 metres, this is the deepest canyon in Armenia, carved out by the fast flowing waters of the Vorotan river. In the 10th and 11 centuries, Tatev was one of the most important Armenian medieval universities. After spending some time at the monastery, we walk down to the bottom of the valley, enjoying superb views all the while. In the bottom of the canyon we stop to see the Devil's Bridge. This amazing geological monument is a natural bridge some 30 metres long and 50 metres wide which spans the Vorotan River and has been formed from limestone travertine deposits built up from natural hot water springs.

After our hike we drive to the nearby settlement of Khndzoresk and walk through Old Khndzoresk, a large troglodyte village located on both sides of a deep canyon. Now abandoned, it was populated until the mid-20th century; we wander around some of the cave houses - some of them several floors high.

Today's seven kilometre walk is graded easy and is expected to take approximately two-and-a-half hours with a total ascent of 100 metres and descent of 500 metres.

We visit the stunning 13th century Noravank Monastery, perched on the cliffs overlooking a magnificent gorge. We break for a picnic lunch and then continue to walk through the plains of Ararat with beautiful views of the biblical Mount Ararat.

This Greco-Roman colonnaded temple is believed to have been built as a temple to the sun god Mihr. Apart from the ruins of the royal complex, you will also see a bathhouse with an interesting mosaic. We then walk down through the Garni gorge to see the immense volcanic basalt formations known as the 'symphony of stones'. From here it's a short drive to Geghard monastery - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Clothing

Take light and comfortable clothing that can be layered according to the temperature. Pack a waterproof jacket and trousers, fleece jacket, comfortable walking trousers, shorts, t-shirts and a sunhat. Please be aware that temperatures can change dramatically at altitude and at night. In remote parts of Armenia you should avoid shorts and vest tops; long trousers or skirts are ideal (your Leader will be able to advise you on appropriate dress in different locations). A headscarf is essential for visiting churches and mosques.

Footwear

We recommend you bring lightweight walking boots with ankle support, make sure that your boots are worn-in and comfortable before the start of the trip. Also trainers or sandals for relaxing and general wear. We suggest that on international flights you either carry your walking boots in your hand luggage or wear them - should your luggage be lost or delayed, your own boots are the one thing that will be irreplaceable.

Luggage

20kg

Luggage: On tour

One main piece of baggage and daypack. Remember you are expected to carry your own luggage so don't overload yourself.

Equipment

You will need a water bottle (preferably 2 litres), torch, insect repellent, sunglasses and high factor sun cream. You may like to bring trekking poles if you normally use them.
